Built for sun-soaked missions on water or trail, the Patagonia Caped Merganzer Hat delivers dialed-in coverage, airflow, and comfort. Its lightweight, 100% recycled polyester stretch ripstop fabric dries fast, breathes easily, and uses a durable water repellent finish to shed spray. A wider-than-average floating brim with EVA foam amps up shade and won't sink if it goes overboard, while the adjustable cape lets you wear it three ways for maximum coverage, moderate coverage, or maximum airflow. Inside, a quick-wicking, low-profile sweatband with miDori bioSoft keeps you cool and comfortable as the day heats up. Cinch the low-profile rear elastic cord for a secure, customized fit, and use the brim rope as a chin strap when the wind kicks up.
